Everything about Kresus | Base Wallet

At Kresus, we’ve reimagined what a wallet should be for people ready to move beyond exchanges, looking for higher yields but still wanting the simplicity of an exchange. Focused on @Base, we’re building something that merges ease of use with powerful features, so anyone can go on-chain effortlessly.

And as a fun fact: our name is inspired by King Croesus of Lydia, the inventor of the first fungible token in 560 BC!

Why we built Kresus

Most people start on exchanges because they feel safer and more familiar, but the issue is that exchanges hold your funds. You don’t truly own your crypto. Plus you can't really experience the power of Web3.

Kresus was built to bridge that gap, offering the ease of exchanges with the freedom and control of self-custody, minus the complexity.

Seamless Coinbase Integration

The Kresus wallet integrates directly with Coinbase, so users can move their funds in and out of their wallet in a couple clicks.

This integration helps exchange users start experiencing the benefits of being on-chain while maintaining the security and simplicity they’re used to. No need for on-chain transactions or complicated on-ramps, just link your Coinbase account and go.

Smart Money Insights

Another game-changer we’re proud of is our Smart Money feature. Every day, Kresus shows you what the top 1% of traders on Base are buying and selling so you can get a glimpse of where the action is.
Many platforms charge for this kind of information, but we’re offering it for free to every Kresus user.
Imagine seeing what the best traders are accumulating, all within your wallet, ready for you to take advantage of.

Free Transactions

To make the transition to Base as smooth as possible, Kresus covers the first 35 transactions. This way, you can explore Base and start trading without worrying about having ETH to pay for gas. Our goal is to make onboarding easy, with no unnecessary barriers that might discourage new users from exploring the world of DeFi.

Built-in Asset Insurance

Security is a top concern for anyone moving their assets on-chain, and we understand how the risk of hacks and the complexity of securing funds can feel daunting.

That's why Kresus is the first wallet in the space to offer built-in asset insurance, providing up to $10,000 of coverage.

This insurance comes from regulated third-party providers and it’s a unique layer of security that sets Kresus apart, making it easier for people to feel confident about going on-chain.
